“We’re praying for the family and friends of the passenger who lost his
life in the terrible accident in New Jersey. Our hearts go out to
everyone involved and we hope those who were injured get the care that
they need and make a full recovery.

“This is a tragedy and we are profoundly sorry that one of our trucks
was involved. We are working quickly to understand what happened and are
cooperating fully with law enforcement to aid their investigation.

“The facts are continuing to unfold. If it’s determined that our truck
caused the accident, Walmart will take full responsibility.

whatsoever to the families and friends who are suffering today. We offer
them our deepest condolences. We can’t change what happened, but we will
do what’s right for the family of the victim and the survivors in the
days and weeks ahead.”
